It's important to separate fact from theory. The emission of certain gases has increase with the increase in population over time. It's also important to remember that "greenhouse gases" is a theory.
True, its only a theory, like that of relativity, or theories of extinction of species. A theory that the Pyramids cause global warming would get short shrift, but a theory that CO2, water-vapour, methane etc, present in the atmosphere have an effect on Global warming tends to have more creedence, wouldn't you agree ?

It's a fact that the Earth's atmosphere gets hotter with an increase in Solar Intensity - that's a fact. It's a theory that Earth's atmosphere gets hotter with an increase in CO2 content of that atmosphere - that's a theory.
I think that the vast majority of experts and climatalogues would agree that Solar warming is important, but that the Greenhouse effect is also linked with the presence of gases in the atmosphere. Fact and Theory rub shoulders here, according to most experts, although a few state that solar radiation has negligable effects on planetary warming.

That's a fact. The only way to reduce the emission of CO2 is to reduce growth. If you want to dramatically reduce emission of CO2 you must dramatically reduce growth. And thankfully that ain't gonna happen.
This is looking at a problem through a reversed telescope, or a very blinkered bias.

Fact. More importantly, total polar ice mass is increasing! The Global Warming fanatics point to a recent three year period and then extrapolate forward from that point. It just so happens that that three year period they conveniently picked is a particularly warm period. Look back over a longer period and it's a perfectly normal cycle of heating and cooling.
Ha ha. Sure

Global Warming Caused By Humans is a theory.
I'll buy it. It makes sense to me from my own personal observations, and from the information I have available that we as a race are responsable for modifying the planetary weather. The doubt that exists, and needs a free and unrestricted debate is "How much effect will it cause, and how can we reduce it's effects so that life will continue to exist." Perhaps the people who try to nullify the effects of GW don't care because Baby Jesus is going to rapture them up, but I, personally, give a shit. (Opinion.)

The United Nations verified the existence of WMD in Iraq in the 1990's. The United Nations verified the fact that Iraq used WMD at least 5 times. The United Nations concluded that Iraq had not provided sufficient proof that those WMD had been destroyed. It is perfectly rational to assume Iraq still had WMD.
Its strange, but this goes against the reports from the UN ? I'll wait for proof that Iraq still had them after 1993, but I think I'll wait a long time.

Thank you, I prefer science over political agenda and pseudo-science.
I'm not so sure here about that.

Pseudoscience is any body of knowledge, methodology, belief, or practice that claims to be scientific but does not follow the scientific method. See Al Gore for examples of modern-day pseudo-science.
See Dan for another. Or is that Dogmascience you preach ?
Do you work for these people, that you defend so fiercely the undefendable ?
